Arizona DOT chooses 1Spatial technology to validate state road network

UK software firm 1Spatial is to supply Arizona Department of Transport (AZDOT) with its 1Integrate software to enable it to certify and integrate its own road network information with regular updates from multiple contributing government bodies within the state. 1Spatial’s 1Integrate technology will enable AZDOT to automatically quality assure the information it receives from the combination of fifteen counties and seventeen public-safety answering points (PSAPs) by validating it against a set of pre-de

UK software firm 1Spatial is to supply Arizona Department of Transport (AZDOT) with its 1Integrate software to enable it to certify and integrate its own road network information with regular updates from multiple contributing government bodies within the state.

1Spatial’s 1Integrate technology will enable AZDOT to automatically quality assure the information it receives from the combination of fifteen counties and seventeen public-safety answering points (PSAPs) by validating it against a set of pre-defined business rules.

It will also be able to match new data submissions against the current version of the road network to identify changes in geometry and other attributes and apply these changes. This new process will save them a significant amount of time and money over a manual process and also ensure the accuracy of the state-wide data map.

    Perceptions of machine vision being an expensive solution are being challenged by developments in both core technologies and ancillaries. Here, Jason Barnes and David Crawford look at the latest developments in the sector. A notable aspect of machine vision is the flexibility it offers in terms of how and how much data is passed around a network. With smart cameras, processing capabilities at the front end mean that only that which is valid need be communicated back to a central processor of any descripti

    Historical traffic data provided by TomTom is being used by the local government in Spain’s Basque region to reduce road congestion at less cost. Old habits die hard. Photos from as far back as the 1930s show people counting cars by the roadside in order to provide congestion data to those running road networks. Today, such techniques are still used, albeit augmented by a range of automation technologies such as inductive loops, infra-red sensors and number plate recognition. Even with these advances, howe
